On the northern edge of the grassland, thousands of simple tree houses were built haphazardly in the wild jungle. After General Anmu of Xue Man's tribe took a tour with more than a dozen of his subordinates, he couldn't help but frowned.

These people are simply a bunch of rabble!

Seeing such a noisy group of people really gave him a headache.

However, he had no choice, because the western wing of Xue Man's tribe really couldn't deploy any elite soldiers. After all, their main opponent was the Taihua tribe, and the north was the key area they needed to defend. Even the five soldiers he brought

Hundreds of soldiers hurried back after delivering the meat.

He could only take these temporarily assembled young men to fight against the newly rising tribes in the south.

To be honest, he has never commanded so many people, because there are only more than 2,000 elite soldiers on the west wing of Xue Man's tribe, and he can only command 500 soldiers at most. How can it be like this time?

There are five thousand!

Although there is no concept of the right time, right place, and right people at this time, fighting is not random. At least, the weather and food should be considered.

Anmu is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, so he naturally knows how to fight. Even if all five thousand young men are assembled, he is not in a hurry to head south.

Because, at this moment, not only did they not have enough food, the weather was also extremely unfavorable to them.

You know, they don't have tents. When they are in the wild jungle, they can build simple tree houses to protect themselves from the wind and rain. Once they enter the grassland, they have to use the sky and the ground as their bed, allowing them to be blown by the wind and rain.

Therefore, he did not dare to take so many people into the grassland in the spring when the temperature was low. He had to wait until the summer when the temperature was high.

This is why Tu Meng only asked him to bring one hundred thousand kilograms of meat, because these people still had plenty of time to hunt for meat.

Next, he ordered Wu, the leader of the Nanjiang tribe, to lead these people to hunt for meat.

These five thousand people are all young and strong, and they are quite powerful at hunting. It can be said that any prey that can be hunted within a radius of more than ten miles will basically not be able to escape their hunting.

It's a pity that no matter how many prey there are around here, it's not enough for them to go back and forth in half a year.

You know, they have five thousand people. Even if one person only eats one kilogram of meat a day, it will be thirty kilograms in one month, almost two hundred kilograms in half a year, and with five thousand people, it will be one million kilograms.

!

How is it possible to hunt millions of kilograms of meat in a radius of more than ten miles?

In desperation, he could only order Wu to take these young men to hunt cattle and sheep on the grassland.

He naturally knows that there are cattle and sheep on the grassland. Everyone knows this. However, everyone also knows that there are not only cattle and sheep on the grassland, but also wild beasts. If it is a single tiger or wolf, that's it. If he encounters a pack of wolves, he will forget it.

It's probably useless to bring five thousand young men with me.

There are tens of thousands of wild wolves on the grassland at every turn. Can five thousand young men meet tens of thousands of hungry wolves?

No one has tried this, and no one dares to try it. After all, if a wild wolf gets hungry, it will be life-threatening. Tens of thousands of wild wolves are rushing towards you, who can stop it!

Fortunately, Wu, the leader of the Nanjiang tribe, is a cautious person. He did not lead five thousand young men to run around on the grassland. Every time, he ordered a small number of young men to investigate carefully to make sure there was no danger.

He took most of the people to hunt.

In this way, the wild wolves basically can't threaten them, and they gain a lot. At least, these five thousand people don't have to go hungry. However, if they have to reserve millions of kilograms of meat, it's basically

It's impossible.

They don't have any war horses as mounts. If they just rely on their legs to explore, they can go deep into the grassland for forty or fifty miles at most in one day. If they go any further, they won't be able to return to the tree house in the jungle.

Moreover, even if they encounter a herd of bison, wild sheep and wild horses, they can only stare at them, because they can't outrun these animals, especially wild horses and wild sheep, and people with a speed of less than 1000 kilograms cannot keep up.

Only when they encounter a herd of bison, they still have a chance to harvest a few slow ones. They don't dare to surround the herd of bison, because once the bison go crazy, it will be quite terrifying, and there will be thousands of them.

If ten thousand bison are running wildly in one direction, not even five thousand young men would dare to stop them.

Therefore, they can basically only hunt the scattered bison and wild sheep on the edge of the grassland. They dare not go deep into the grassland to hunt herds of bison and wild sheep.

While they were working hard to prepare for the war, the Haotian tribe was not idle. Zhao Hao had already asked the eight battalions to deploy 300 elite cavalry each to form a cavalry regiment of more than 2,400 people. At this time, they were also hunting, because

Zhao Hao didn't have many livestock on hand, and he couldn't afford more than two thousand cavalry.

However, what they hunt is different. The bison herds and wild sheep herds on the grassland are their targets.

This time, Zhao Hao did not want to hunt too many cattle and sheep. After all, they were preparing for war, not expanding the number of livestock, so he sent scouts to search near the temporary camp.

The galloping speed of this horse is more than ten times faster than the speed of a person walking. If the reconnaissance cavalry is searching, it will not be a problem to search within 500 miles a day. Dozens of groups of reconnaissance cavalry are sent out, and the news is quickly transmitted back.

To the northeast of the camp, there are sizable herds of bison and wild sheep.

Zhao Haodang set off with more than 2,000 cavalry, including A Hua and Ashan.

At this time, it would be easy for him to subdue a herd of buffaloes or wild sheep guarded by strange beasts. However, this time, he was still not prepared to take action because he wanted to take this opportunity to practice hard, and at the same time, for

Be prepared to explore the grassland in the future.

After all, the grassland is so big. If he wants to personally lead his cavalry to travel everywhere, it will take at least a few years. He doesn't have the time to waste time on such things, so he plans to let the generals of each battalion lead the teams themselves.

To conquer the herds of buffalo, wild sheep and wild horses.

This time, the first wave of hunting was the buffalo herd, and Zhao Hao handed over the task to Ahua and her three hundred elite cavalry from the Tianshen Camp.

Ahua was now a master with a strength of nearly 10,000 kilograms. Bull monsters and the like were naturally no threat to her. She followed Zhao Hao's example and directly asked her cavalry to surround them, and then rode alone.

The exotic horse rushed forward.

The bull monster guarding the buffalo herd naturally couldn't bear this provocative behavior. Before she could rush to the buffalo herd, a huge bull monster hit her directly with its terrifying horns.

Ahua didn't hesitate, she immediately jumped up from the horse, drew out her long knife, and rushed towards the bull monster.

Although the long knife in her hand is not a magic weapon, it is a carefully crafted thick-backed machete. It weighs at least seventy or eighty kilograms. Even if it is not used for cutting but for smashing, its power is quite terrifying.

This bull monster didn't know the power of the thick-backed machete in Ahua's hand. It only knew how to bump into it and gore this guy to death.

As you can imagine, Ahua directly raised the thick-backed machete and slashed the bull monster on the head. The powerful and heavy blow was much stronger than the magic sword's wind, and the bull monster was directly killed by her.

Open the dipper!

The next step was to subdue the herd. Three hundred fine knights came down with a hail of arrows, and then they slashed with long knives and spears. Even the wild buffaloes that were running wildly were captured by their momentum and shrank in fear.

group.

Now, it is so simple for the Haotian tribe to conquer the wild buffalo herds. Thousands of bison were brought into submission in less than an hour, and more than two thousand cavalrymen were provided with meat for several months. The next step is to conquer the wild sheep herds.

It's just about training soldiers and enriching the types of meat.

This is the gap. The young tribes conquered by the Xue Man tribe on the west wing are hunting desperately for half a year's meat reserves. They may not be ready in a month or two, while the Haotian tribe can hunt in just a few days.

Get enough meat!

If Tu Meng knew that there was such a huge gap between the two sides, he might not have dared to send troops to retaliate, at least not until he had received support.
Chapter completed!
